And black.

Since nobody's posting, I thought I'd add something new.

Thanks for the compliments. More pics will come in a few weeks when it's back together again.

The springs are soa with 1 1/2" lift, (if memory serves me). They should allow clearance for the 37" tires on the 62" wide front & 60" wide rear axles.

The tub was painted with Ford Colorado Red, (same as Ford Torch Red).

Frame, axles and various other parts were powder-coated semi-gloss black.

The top was painted Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat, which I chose after seeing it on a Dodge Charger down in L.A. Alhough I haven't seen the top since it was painted, I have seen the rear hatch done and it does sparkle nicely in the sun. Too bad we don't get much sun in the Pacific Northwest. :cry:
